Since I am a 17 year old girl and I am trying to raise awareness to my generation about protecting yourself. It is so critical to get checked and have safe sex, because we do NOT want history to repeat itself. I just finished watching the movie, How to Survive a Plague, and the pain in my heart was unreal. I hope no specific group has to deal with that kind of stigma ever again.
I hope to gain followers and believers in what I believe can happen in this millennium. As one of the UN millennium goals, I want to be apart of ending HIV/AIDS.
As the young generation, we need to 1. protect 2. check 3. ask.
1. Protect yourself by using condoms and talking to your parent or guardian about practicing safe sex.
2. Check yourself to make sure you do not have HIV/AIDS.
3. Ask your partner if he/she has been tested, and encourage each other to get checked.
To end today's post, I want to pledge to protect myself and get tested so I know my status.
